### 5/5 — Loving it so far!

*2021-03-12*

I’ve always enjoyed working out, and I Ioved the gym, but since the pandemic shut down my gym I had kind of lost my joy. James has brought it back! Thank you James, I’m loving the workouts and the motivational videos. Keep it coming!

### 5/5 — Still going strong 2 months in!

*2021-03-07, version 1.0.12*

Been using this app for 9 weeks now! Normally I give I after a week do that says something! Can feel toning coming and muscles building!  Thanks James!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-03-03, version 1.0.12*

What a fantastic app and experience. James is a very motivating coach and having him talk you through it in real time is great. Easy to use and most importantly, you actually look forward to the workouts and want to stick to the schedule. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Great motivator to workout

*2021-02-25, version 1.0.11*

A really awesome app. Great details with the Spotify music linking to to app with useful videos and great motivating but not too annoying with the voice over throughout the workout.

### 5/5 — Loves this app

*2021-02-24, version 1.0.11*

Omg! So refreshing to have a workout where the trainer is not shaming you! I feel really encouraged during the workout and feel amazing afterwards 🥰

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2021-02-19, version 1.0.11*

❤️❤️

### 5/5 — 10/10!!

*2021-02-18, version 1.0.11*

Honestly the best workout app I have used. I have trialed a few and found them boring and very un-engaging. Amo is the same, if not better as a 1-1 Personal Trainer.  Having the trainer on the app speaking through the whole workout pushes you just that bit harder! Love it. The app has really got me feeling excited about exercise again.

### 5/5 — Amo with Coach James

*2021-02-16, version 1.0.11*

Took me a few weeks to get going but boy how I loved my first class, like I have my own personal coach x

### 5/5 — Perfectly Pitched Effort Level

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.10*

Loving this app so far. 

Hits that exact sweet spot between easy enough to not be a functionless wreck tomorrow (and give up) and hard enough to be enjoyable and feel like you’ve worked and that you’ll see results. 

Coaching is motivating and helpful in getting techniques right. 

Enjoying that you’re served new video messages (Amos) after you complete a workout.

### 5/5 — Amo is great, top fitness app - I’ve tried many

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.10*

I may be bias as I’m a fan and follower of James Middleton but the app is clean!
When you first download, you fill in your goals and info about you and then the app will generate a workout programme for you. I don’t have any equipment so the app tailored the programme to only body weight exercising. The app takes the effort that can hold you back from doing exercise away, as the plan is just there ready and waiting.

The only pitfall is that it can become repetitive as some exercises and videos can become repetitive. But there a short videos that aim to help you feel motivated.

I think that James could add a diet plan, like he offers in his online coaching. Having this feature would set it apart from competition.

### 5/5 — Best workout app ever!

*2021-02-09, version 1.0.10*

I’ve tried many apps before and none of them made me stick like this one. Great workouts, will make you sweat and your muscles will scream, even if you only use body weight. I can’t wait for rest days to pass so I can work out! Well done coach James!

### 5/5 — Great workouts

*2021-02-09, version 1.0.10*

My first week - what I love:-
The music
The length of each session
The tuition
It feels like I have PT session rather than a generic ‘YouTube’ one !
Great value !!
Many thanks 🤗

### 5/5 — Really informative

*2021-02-08, version 1.0.10*

Really enjoying my workouts - normally I would get bored but these keep my attention. There is a high level of detail and knowledge and I look forward to using this app everyday!

### 5/5 — Amo App is a game changer!

*2021-02-06, version 1.0.10*

OMG! What an absolute killer today’s class has been! 5th week completed and still loving it and sticking with it 💪🏻 The motivation from Coach James defiantly helps to keep me on track and keep pushing.  I’m loving this app. It’s a game changer! Highly recommend it to everyone. If you are unsure about downloading then don’t be, just give it a go. You have nothing loose and you will love it, no donut about it is constantly keeping you on your toes.

### 5/5 — So unique and refreshing

*2021-02-05, version 1.0.10*

None of the other apps feel like a personal trainer, it’s just lots of workouts on an app. All the same. But personal training is about personal feel and personalisation and that is what this app is all about. I’m loving it and unique!

### 1/5 — Please contact - app not generating any new workouts at lvl 14

*2022-11-23*

I’m at level 14, app stopped generating any new workouts. Only shows me motivational videos. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, signed in and out many times, nothing helped. 

Can’t contact your customer service inside the app at all. I paid subscription till summer 2023, please help.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2021-12-03, version 2.0.12*

I purchased a 3 month subscription and the app isn’t working at all and there is no one to contact about it, it takes you to the Amo app Instagram page and it looks inactive and no one has responded to my messages. This has been going on for a month. I would like a refund.

### 4/5 — Love the workout plan, app a little glitchy

*2021-11-19, version 2.0.12*

Been using the app for a few weeks and really happy with it on the whole. I love the workouts and the coaching. Can feel it making a difference already. It’s great at keeping you motivated. 
Would be 5 star but the app can be a little glitchy. Quite often it crashes several times during a workout and I can’t get it to work again. Also when using Spotify, my music appears to be muted a little during the exercises….sometimes you need that power tune loud to get you through the last few sets!!

### 4/5 — Usage

*2021-04-18, version 1.0.17*

It may be my phone that has the problem but play back of the videos of the exercise is slow and sometimes not working. Maybe need a way to save the workout to phone so they can be played off line and avoid and buffering stops etc. other then that the app is great.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-03-02*

The only problem is when i swipe up to mark my score for that set sometimes i swipe off the app, otherwise it works really well

### 4/5 — Enjoying the app very much but...

*2021-02-03, version 1.0.10*

Enjoying the app very much but it crashes 2-3 times every time I use it. And I have to kill the app and restart it again, then try to skip all the 1st, 2nd rounds to reach the spot where I stopped.. Not very convenient when you are in the middle of some HIIT workout.. 

Otherwise, I am quite happy about the app. Very different from other apps I previously used.

### 4/5 — Great workouts

*2021-01-27*

I love the workout and the constant intensity that these workouts bring. The only thing I wish is that you could change some of the difficulties of the workouts to be a little harder or add a recommend weight to use. Also the gym portion isn’t set up quite yet, but excited to see what that will add to the app. James (the coach) does a great job explaining each workout. Providing demos if need be for certain exercises. He constantly gives tips and motivation throughout the workout like he is in the room with you. Overall it’s an amazing app and highly recommend. Take advantage of the free 4 weeks. It gives you a taste what this app can give you and the variety of workouts it offers. I have been working out since I was about 15 I am 25 now and these workouts are a great addition to the stuff I use. Along with providing new ways if you can’t get to the gym to workout at home. I love the app and excited to see what updates and new exercises James and his team can bring to this app.

### 4/5 — Great coaching, developing app

*2021-01-02, version 1.0.4*

I have been doing Amo for the last 2 weeks, 5 workouts a week on the intermediate dumbbells course. 
I really like the audio coaching and think it is SO much better because of that than other apps that generate workouts on a schedule for you like this. Having James cheer you on and remind you to keep focused on good form is really really great. I’m very sporty but not usually motivated for ‘fitness’ as such and I’ve never been this excited to do strength training each day! I actually look forward to it! 
The reasons I’ve only given it 4 stars and not 5 are as follows:
- firstly there are a few little glitches with the technology (which I think are mainly because it’s such a new app so I’m sure these things will get sorted soon)
- I think there should be beeper in the background to count down 3,2,1 before ends of exercises (if you’re not looking at the screen because you’re focusing on your form, you can miss that)
- james’ voice doesn’t quite match up with timings (just a bit annoying when he counts down 3,2,1 at the ends of exercises)
- sometimes James says just ‘grit your teeth’ when trying to get through an exercise. While I love all his motivation, I think this is a really bad thing to say as it makes you stiffen up, tense your face and neck and usually that’s really bad for form)
- I would also LOVE the option of a longer cool down .. perhaps they could make some yoga sessions to compliment etc?

But all in all, I am really enjoying it and it’s a great way for me to get back to strength training!

### 5/5 — Life saver!

*2021-07-06, version 2.0.3*

This app launched during lockdown and got me through so much. Still using it today, it’s fresh, different to anything else, slightly addictive which I guess is a good thing & bloody works!! Thanks coach James & team

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2021-06-25, version 2.0.2*

Only on my first week but I can tell this is different. The interactive motivation as well as having tailored workouts that are challenging but most importantly, achievable! I finish feeling like I have worked hard but not been defeated, which is crucial if I am going to wake up tomorrow and do it again.

### 5/5 — Best work out App.

*2021-06-18, version 2.0.1*

Excellent quality

### 5/5 — Easy to follow and very complete

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.19*

Best workout app ever, easy to access, easy to follow, really complete, warmups, movements really well explained throughout the exercises and at the end a very relaxing stretching with soft music! The bomb!

### 5/5 — Lower body workout

*2021-05-10, version 1.0.19*

I’ve just completed my first workout and boy can I feel it! Love a good workout where you know you’ve definitely done one. Feeling buzzed now thanks Amo 💪🙌

### 5/5 — Best workout app i’ve used!!!

*2021-05-03, version 1.0.19*

This app is so different from the others. I like and need that motivational voice telling me to push through the workout which is what you get with this app. It’s like you’re getting a 1 to 1 session in your own home which is great in the current climate. But the best part of this app is that it suits YOUR needs and is interactive so you get that personal touch and can choose what you want to get out of the app. Definitely worth it!

### 5/5 — So easy to follow and I love it!!

*2021-04-16, version 1.0.16*

Tried this out do the first time so easy to follow. And is pretty simple exercises which are catered to your plan that you select right at the beginning. Plus you can listen to your own music whilst doing the exercises and you can still the app speaking to you with a video tutorial at the top too. 
Amazing!! Love it!!

### 5/5 — First workout complete

*2021-04-16, version 1.0.16*

I just started using this app and so far I really love it. I’ve been quite lazy during lockdown and really needed this motivation to get me started again. It has well timed breaks in between exercises and was nicely paced. Would highly recommend if you need a hand restarting fitness in your life.
